A fabulous place to stay within walking distance of everywhere you would want to visit in York. A very comfy room and one of the best cooked breakfasts you’ll find anywhere. We’ll definitely stay again on our next visit.

Great place to stay close to the city but far enough out to be quiet. Staff were all fantastic and so friendly. Breakfast was amazing. Only concern although it’s not a huge issue the trains were a little noisy but didn’t really disturb me but if that’s an issue for you take ear plugs

We loved the friendliness of the staff and the breakfast.
We didn't like the size of the room - a really small room for twin beds

Relaxing stay in York
It was a short walk from the train station and we were able to walk along the river and to the downtown. Breakfast was excellent and it was very quiet.

Convenient guest house in a quiet location. Walking distance from the train station and the centre of York. Comfortable room with everything you need, but the decor was looking a bit tired and could do with a bit of a spruce. The breakfast was perfect and setsnyou up for the day.

Great base
What a great base for a visit to York. Out of the hustle and bustle but close enough to enjoy the walk into town.
The staff were very polite and professional and our room was spotless and very quiet(room 10)
Thankyou for making our long weekend that much better

Everything is brilliant about St. Mary's!
Everything is brilliant about St. Mary's Guest House in York! Location is perfect - just 10 min stroll along the river front into the centre. Beds very comfy. Breakfast pentiful, cooked to order and delicious. Manager, Caroline, is wonderful. Parking inexpensive and easy. We would highly recommend this for a city break.

Sadly we didn't get chance to speak to staff due to our arrival and departure times. But checking in out of hours was simple and quick and the room was clean and very comfortable
